I have a dyson DC28 vacuum and the power button flashes on and off and the beater bar quit turning. I turned it over and found some string caught on the beater bar which I removed, but the beater bar still does'nt turn and the power button still flashes on and off. I hope you can give me a solution to this problem.

I had the same symptom with my wife's DC28. The problem was associated with the cam driven height adjustment mechanism. The beater bar must rock freely up and down when pressing on the tabs that the end cam lobes actuate. On ours I found hair and cru ...

While vacuuming the beater bar shuts off all by itself, the main power source stays on. I touch the power button on the beater bar to start it again and it shortly after shuts off again. why is this happening?

Again, I have a Bissel Model 3760-4. The same problem as everyone else. The beater bar will not turn. Took apart, nothing. Took to vacuum repair shop and they said it is not getting power to the motor to the beater bar. Seems like a fair number of folks are having this same issue. You would think Bissell would come up with a fix, if nothing else to save their reputation. Thanks Diane

My Hoover Platinum LiNX Cordless Stick Vacuum beater bar is not turning. After removing some clogged hair and items...the vacuum cleaner has suction, but the beater bar will not turn. What to do? The belt is still attached and will turn manually.

My vacuum's power light is flashing and the beater bar will no longer move. It does turn on and have suction, just no movement of the beater bar.

How do you disassemble a Kenmore 8900 (Whisperquiet) model 116? No power to vac - not in beater bar, switch or hose - checked

My beater bar doesn't work on my power nozzle

First make sure you have power at the valve if you have a Direct Connect\015\012 (no cord on end of hose) style valve. If it happens at every valve, you may have a bad switch in the handle or a loose wire where the handle meets the hose. If it's stil ...

Proteam Pro force 1500xp Upright vacuum... When I switch to the carpet setting I have no suction power but the beater bar is turning. If I switch back to the floors setting, the suction is excellent. Wondering if the problem is in the on/off switch?

Just undo the screws on the front part of the switch assembly, carefully check all the leads to the switch. Mine slide off all the time as the switch is poorly designed and subject to damage when the darn thing tips over (easily!!!) new switches are ...
